Stormont incident was 'performance art', UDA man Stone tells court

Monday September 22 2008

UDA man Michael Stone has told a court in Belfast that his incursion at Stormont two years ago was an attempt to help the peace process.

53-year-old Stone faces charges of attempting to murder Sinn Fein's Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness and is also charged with possession of explosives and a garrotte.

In court today, he said when he forced his way into Stormont in October 2006, it was an act of performance art and self parody to try and break the political log jam.
